Hi Julf, I think we're all agreed that there is a lot of tomfoolery about. This does not necessarily imply that high sample rates are bad per se. I'm still trying to catch up on the theoretical stuff, but I've had a hint that there may be frequency domain vs. time domain issues in establishing the best size box to stick a genuine recording into. Whether any such considerations would be audible in practice cannot be determined when only "fake" examples are currently available. *-If-* you lost anything audibly valuable at the ADC stage, it is blindingly obvious that there would be no way to subsequently recover it from a discrete set of "0"s & "1"s. I'm staying open-minded until some genuine recordings are available. I haven't got any DSD stuff myself but I believe some "audiophools" prefer them to PCM. Of course other peoples' opinions don't *-prove-* anything.
